Copy a previous answer to the first repeating question

[dtrotman]

I have a form that asks for the name of the head of household, then later on asks for additional information for each household member in a repeating group as shown in the screenshot.

Is it possible to copy Name_of_Occupant and Surname_of_head to the first instance of Christian_Name and Surname only?

@dtrotman, you should be able to do it as outlined in our previous post:

Selecting household head automatically (that has been recorded outside the roster) in a household roster (repeat group)

Welcome to the community, @ayitey7000! You could do it as outlined in the image shared below: In the survey tab of your XLSForm: [Image 1] In the choices tab of your XLSForm: [Image 2] Data entry screen as seen in Enketo: [Image 3] Reference XLSForm: Repeat Group.xlsx (11.4 KB)

Thank you it worked perfectly!
